Show Notes

For most of human history, when a person’s heart stopped, that was considered the end.

Then, through centuries of trial and error, strange experiments, and medical breakthroughs, doctors discovered that death was not always instantaneous.

A stopped heart could sometimes be restarted, and ordinary people could be taught how to help save a life.

The result was one of the most important emergency procedures ever developed.

Learn more about the history and science of CPR on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
